preview specific format (when several are specified)

[skwde]

Description

I have following _quarto.yml

format:
  latex: default
  pdf:
    documentclass: scrartcl

and the text.qmd

# Test

abc

When I run quarto preview test.qmd --no-browser the preview is available on http://localhost:5293/test.tex.

Some observations:

• Using --render pdf seems to have no effect.
• Changing the order of formats renders to pdf and also shows a different preview url http://localhost:7071/web/viewer.html

How do I tell quarto preview what preview I actually want to have without relying on the format order?

I use Quarto version 1.5.54 in a devcontainer running debian bookworm.

Use --to <format>, e.g. quarto preview test.qmd --to pdf

See "All Formats" in the Quarto documentation.
